"... with the added trust of Microsoft." Hahahaha, fuck NO!
Not that Google is much better by any measure though. They’re both trash.
No but atleast you'll only have one mega corp getting your data instead of two.
You're right, both are scumbags. But it's just the slimy-nest(? is that an english word ?) of it. "Here, the same thing you are trying to download, but we will be tracking your behaviour, which is better, trust us!"
I might be biased, being Linux and Zen browser user. But every time I have to deal with windows for our clients, my soul dies a little. Knowing they unwillingly sacrifice performance just because they have to use one software that for no reason runs only on Windows.
I understand that pain. I’ve been free of Windows for 20+ years but a couple years ago I thought I’d help a small office set up Office 365 and it turned out to be a huge mistake.
I’d been working on a Ruby on Rails web application that exported tasks as a WebCal feed and Office 365 made it virtually impossible to subscribe to it. The simplest of tasks become stupidly complex on Windows.
